NFL Sudden Death League 2016

[stringertom]

I forgot to try and get this fun competition going with Week 1 but we still have 16 weeks of regular season and playoffs to compete so WTF, let's do it!

Rules:

1. Each week's full schedule will be posted on Monday night.

2. From that schedule, pick one team you feel will win their game, straight up.

3. If your pick is a correct one, you move on to the next week. Also include a prediction of the actual margin of victory for your team each week. This will be used for a tiebreaker if every survivor exits on the same week.

4. If your pick is incorrect, go to jail, directly, do not collect $200. Final score ties are considered a loss.

5. You may pick a team only once. Keep track of the teams you have used. If you duplicate a team and do not correct it by that team's kickoff, you lose.

6. Changes are allowed up to kickoff times for your teams. NEVER edit your pick for these changes.

7. The last survivor is crowned champion and gets a healthy dose of Sewretch Spray for a prize!

Reply with an "in" if you want to play. I'll post the schedule on Tuesday if enough people want to play.

Nice response so far, with four willing participants! Can we get a few more???

@osutennis24 would play if he could pick the Bengals every week! Same for @oztennisfan and the Cowpokes!

Amended rule: If we are still contesting into the playoffs, you are allowed to use teams a second time.

If the contest is over before the playoffs, I'll put another one together for the postseason.

[Big_Dangerous]

In

I remember one year I did a Yahoo survivor league (same setup) and I started like week 3 or 4 and ran the table. It was pretty sweet.

 

[Feña14]

ill go denver 27-20

Yeah they all look tough to pick. Red Zone should be fun on Sunday though!

 

[Topspin Shot]

Carolina by 14.

 

[Steve0904]

Going with Carolina by 10. Don't have much of an idea how good SF is this year though.

I agree with anybody who said it was a tough week. I don't feel like touching any of the divisional match ups with a ten foot pole.

 

[T1000]

Jets 19 bills 10

Gonna get knocked out before everyone

I took a divisional...Cleveland is bad!

 

[Feña14]

My pick is in... Detroit by 7

Probably a good pick. I thought about picking them as well. My other pick would've been NE, but I talked myself into Carolina instead.

Well they lost only 1 game in the regular season all of last year, so pretty good bet they won't start off the year at 0-2.

That's what I'm hoping.

 

[Big_Dangerous]

Gonna switch my pick and take the Carolina Panthers by 17

Expecting a close one then lol

Our first survivor and a nice close prediction on the spread (off 3).

Further explanation on the spread significance: this will be cumulative so that if there is a tie for last survivor the lowest total for accuracy wins.

Still not too late for some of you to get in with the nine commitments:

@Power Player @mavsman149 (Tannehill looking good 2nd half!) @jamesblakefan#1 @Chadillac @gino . You have the 4pm games, SNF and MNF to pick from.

It's fun! try it!!!

 

[stringertom]

We have our first suicide...sorry to tell you mate, @Feña14 , but Stafford throws his first INT in 200+ attempts to seal the Titans' comeback.

I had a squeaky bum game watching Baltimore spotting the Browns 3 TDs early but started their comeback with a 2-point return of the blocked XP on the third TD. Final 25-20 Ravens!

My pick is: Green Bay over MIN by 1-2 touchdowns.

Looking for a quick start from the Green Bay secondary to give Aaron some early possession advantages. That's my pick

 

[stringertom]

Not much time if you want GB @ Minnesota. Your other option is MNF (Phila @ Chicago)

Give a specific point differential (GB by 7 for example)

 

[stringertom]

Two more suicides despite the fact the LA Rams have still not scored a TD in more than two decades.

Everybody say "Ciao" to @Rafaisdabest and @osutennis24 !

Everybody stay tuned: if there are multiple weeks of the regular season remaining when we crown a champ, I'll restart a tournament and a playoff one too.

 

[gino]

GB by 14 over MIN

Excited to see this play out

Thanks and good luck!

Can't believe I went for Seahawks with a little help, when my first choice I thought Dallas...would of still been in it, if I had just done it myself
I am good at picking teams usually!!

The Rams have had their number the last few seasons.

 

[Power Player]

I had no idea about this, but I'm in a money league for it. I can post my picks here as well - I went with Houston week 1 and Carolina this week.

Haha I saw the end of the game on red zone, awful from the Lions. Plus half of my fantasy teams got injured in the space of 3 hours. Bad day all round!
